According to Joy's latest video, Gideon has asthma.

It's so obvious who the Beets are--I thought at least one judge would get it right.

There wasn't a Bottom 3, just a Bottom 2. Julia just happened to be last in the random order elimination* of the others. But I agree the two who went home were two of the strongest singers. * By elimination, I mean elimination from the danger zone.

I don't think it's so much that he hated Clay as it was that he didn't want Clay to win. He regularly criticized Clay and never criticized Ruben. Oh, I think once he said something a little negative about an outfit Ruben wore. Every other week, Ruben was the greatest thing since sliced bread, according to Simon. The funny thing is, the more Simon talked negatively about Clay, the more the fans rallied around him. Clay was a juggernaut and nothing Simon said could stop him.

I remember reading somewhere it was done in September or thereabouts.

I like Emmy, but I agree that was beyond weird. It looked like she just finished painting her house. I guess she was going for an authentic coal miner's daughter look (her grandmother as a little girl, maybe), but heck, Loretta Lynn was known for her elaborate and dressy clothes when she was performing on the stage. She'd no doubt be scratching her head at this.

I like Emmy, too. I really like Julia. I could see her as a big Broadway star someday. She's got the chops. Same here. This guy's got charisma out the wazoo. Ditto. I disagree. I get Jennifer Hudson vibes. Before last night, I thought she'd get to top 5, but since she didn't make the top 10, she'll probably get voted off next week. Not a country fan, but he's cute as a button, and his Scotty McCreery voice will get him to the top 2 or 3. Not a country music fan, so this is like nails on a chalkboard for me, but he'll probably get to top 5 or top 3 since he's pure country and what the home audience likes.

I agree. Not a fan of the self-penned sad songs, i.e., "Skinny." Don't care for gospel music either, although the singers were talented. I'd like to see more up-tempo happy music. Maybe we'll see that in the upcoming theme weeks.

Didn't Odell get a platinum ticket from the judges? And then they didn't save him in the end. So very confusing.

I just saw the news and was coming here to post it. I'm guessing Jill wanted at least one girl. I wonder if they'll try again.

I agree with atomic's comments. A separate thread is a great idea. I think Brian enjoys being a podcast host more than being producer. He once said on the podcast that he always wanted to be in front of the camera instead of behind the scenes. He has a little bit of "entertainer" in his blood, lol. He refers to the followers of the podcast as "Bri-guys" (Brian guys). Each host (except Whoopi) has a weekly turn. Joy does Wednesdays, Ana does Fridays, and Alyssa, Sara, and Sunny switch around Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Whoopi only participates about once every two or three months.

Wow, he's certainly done a 180 on Reilly. He was so obsessed with her on the show.

I just realized that Megan must have lost her gig with the Daily Mail. She used to write an article for them at least every couple of weeks. I don't remember seeing an article by her in quite a while. I guess all she's got now is her podcast, which she promotes daily on her Instagram. Her IG is all podcast, podcast, podcast.
